From what I understand, there isn't a "minimum" but they will still look at your GPA, so as long as it's not terrible it probably won't be a huge consideration. From my conversations with people who did get into USC SCA, they say that what seems to be the most important aspect of the application is your personal statement. The admissions department wants to know that you have a unique, individual voice which will come out through your work. The school thinks they can give you the technical training, but they just want to know that you have a voice which is worth developing.Is there a undergraduate GPA requirement for USC Cinema Arts MFA?

Thanks for reply. However I feel like I've seen in many other posts or articles that USC and UCLA has a minimum GPA for grad school. Which confuses me a little bit..USC does not have a minimum GPA requirement. They say your creative abilities are what they really look at.
I updated the school's page to reflect the requirements. Please check the page out too and let me know if there's anything else that I should add.
